I fear....Gone are the days of old! What do you think?<<<

Yes, I do think they are gone.

As for the Lavender, in the old days, every lady kept lavender with her linens and underclothes.

Grannies smelled like lavender and they used lavender waters and bath powders.

And the kids did not grow up as insane as they are today.

I learned first that it was a skin healer and smelled good in soap, so I wanted to make lavender soap.

I read that a drop rubbed on mom’s bare skin/shoulder and laying the cranky baby on that shoulder, would stop the ‘croup’, the babies head simply resting on mom’s dress, not on the bare skin. The lavender would be too strong for a baby.

Another soapmaker that I wrote to daily, had a new very cranky grandbaby, so I sent it to her and she tried it, it worked instantly, the baby slept well and was peaceful for the first time.

Wish I had known about it, when my daughter was young, for she was the ‘cranky queen’.

Then one day I read that it would cure headaches, and as I happened to have my bottle of lavender essential oil, I thought why not try it?

Rubbed on the temples, it will cure the headache quickly, if it is a migraine, add it to the temples, under the nose and the back of the neck, where the big bump is, at the base.

I like to know why something works, have read that it increases the flow of blood. Have also read that it will relax the muscles.

I think I believe them both.

Your link, folks are beginning to wake up.
